Hi @rowan I just wanted say hello and welcome you.

Those who have had these tests, were they performed fasting or non-fasting? Everything I read states non-fasting, however my doctor asked me to eat a carb rich diet prior to testing, which I did. Would this not skew the results?

Hi there.. Don't be annoyed at yourself. Stress is the worst and causes havoc on our bodies. You can low carb on metformin and I bet if you have a read around the forum you will most certainly see lots of type 2's who have reduced/stopped taking metformin altogether due to lifestyle changes...

I had these tests done December 4 and they are still not back from the lab. I had no idea they take so long.

Inspiring to us all. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for writing this...oops, I am trying to figure out how to attach a name and it prematurely posted.

Thanks you guys are so sweet. I appreciate your comments as I know you guys get it and I don't feel completely ridiculous sharing my feelings here. I tested 1 hour later after not eating and it was 8.7. It was 6.9 before bed. I think I did this to myself, I need to find the correct dosage of...

8.5 and shocked, two weeks of 5's and 6's during Christmas when I wasn't low carbing like I am now, I wasn't crazy but I was more relaxed. I reduced my dosage of metformin from 2000 mg to 1000 mg on Monday after I isolated this to be the cause of my constant flank pain. With 5's-7's consistent...

Ha. Thank you noble head.

My latest a1c is confusing too .075 lol.

It just says insulin. I also have a creatinine result of 44.

Oops I should be clear. .my doctor tested a whack of things, one being insulin, my level came back as 188. What does this test show? Can it separate my own insulin vs what I inject?

What does insulin 188 mean? I have no idea how to decipher my results... thank you!

Hi Sugar Papa.. I have been diagnosed for 6 weeks, and I wanted you to know it will get better. This thread is filled with amazing people, post and read here often you will find you are not alone dealing with this. :)

Hi LADA's..I hope to confirm 100% that I am indeed part of this club next week as I had all the tests last week. I have hashimotos and last year my endocrinologist sent me on three different occasions to have needle biopsies. All three times I was told different reasons for not doing the...

Awesome news, Well done, an inspiration.

Hi Phonenix.. Yes, that is what I want, a dumbed down understanding of the data. This is what I found, what I was trying to determine if I can figure the type of d based on my SNP results, specifically LADA. rs9272346(A;A) rs7903146 (C;T) rs7574865 (G;T) rs1801282 (C;G)<which tells me to watch...

Last night I was reflecting on the last three evenings after dinner readings of 8.3, 10.2 (most likely higher at 3 hours post meal but I didn't check) and last night at 3 hours, 12.8. I manage to keep my BS very even all day in the 5-6's, as I really am conscious of the carbs I ingest, plus I...

10.2..not sure what the culprit was, I had a sugar free Russell Stover candy a few hours before, when I read the number I reviewed the carbs/sugars content again and googled sugar alcohol..doesn't appear to be an issue, so who knows! Normally I am in the 6's.

Hi Anne, I was just diagnosed a month ago and I want you to know it does get better.. You will have good days and bad days. I personally feel 100% percent better one month in. Holy moly I was a walking zombie, barely functioning. Keep reading this forum and ask questions. You will learn so...
